I'm about to commit a TB sin.

[Bassmaticmatt]

Yesterday I pulled $2,300 out of my account. As im looking at the cash I have the incredible urge to but a Rick.
But I only owe $2,100 on my truck. So despite my intense gas pains im going to do the fiscally responsible thing and pay off my truck. Six months early I might add.

This hurts my sole a little but I'll be able to grab a Rick in no time since I'm dropping a $340 monthly payment. Not to mention the money on insurance saved switching from full coverage to liability. If I decide to do that.
Good day to you's

You can carry an old, cheap bass to a gig in the truck. But you can't get the groceries with a nice, new bass. Good call.

Pretty much sums it up. I, for one, am proud of you! Now, take what you were putting in a truck payment every month and stick it in the Ric savings account. 6 months from now you'll have a paid for truck and a paid for Ric!!!

Smart move !!
Congrats on both accounts .
I'll take debt freedom over stuff every time!!

Actually, that kind of financial responsibility (and a bit of patience) is what will enable you to own pretty much whatever gear you may desire in the future. Good call.

Sorry to hear about your fish. Hope it feels better.

Wow.... a Bass player with maturity.

 

[mellowinman]

I just hope your foot recovers.

 

[M.R. Ogle]

Foot?
Wait... wat?
Oh. That makes more sense.

What's the difference between meat and fish? If you beat your fish, it dies.

You can't take full coverage off your vehicle when you just paid it off.

Go knock some wood and drive safe the day you mail that check!!!!

Paying off your car is like a people running into you magnet. Keep that coverage two months then decide. Lol.

FOOL!

Just kidding, that was the only wise thing to do.

The sole of your foot will recover.


Definitely keep collision & comprehensive, unless it's already a beater.

True story.

No sin, No foul. The only sin would be to not buy another bass in the next year

Living debt free gives you far more flexibility...to play what you want, when you want.

 

[JakobT]

Good for you. Rock on!

 

[Jeff Haislip]

Congratulations on the truck and as many have already stated, "GREAT CALL". A paid off truck and paid off Ric will be so nice.

It was fine either way, if payments weren't a struggle. If you were paying $340 per month for a few years, you paid off the interest long ago, and were mainly paying principle- they made their profit (interest) off of you mainly at the front end of the loan, if I'm not mistaken. If $340 were manageable for me every month, it was no big deal to make the payment, I would have gotten the bass, and continued the truck payments till the end. Then I'd have the Rick and the truck, no biggie.

Wait...wait...wait...are you trying to tell me you are NOT going to carry full coverage on your truck??? Only liability??? Dont you know bass players on TB are morally required to look out for everyone on the road, gigs, and practice rooms?
